A casual wine dinner with A-E-G @ Pokka Café .
Grateful that they didn’t mind go to Pokka Café in TW in order to save my traveling time. Been to the restaurant quite often, no intention to take photos of the food.
Gini, Soave Classico DOC 2007, Veneto Italy
Grape variety: 100% Garganega
One of my favorite white.
With delicate fruit on the nose - apple, honeyed-pear, a tinge of citrus; delightful, stony minerality and bright, refreshing acidity. A delicious long aftertaste.
Tried these two bottles with great enjoyment, not sure if it’s because of those good companions. 
Opus One 1997, Napa Valley USA
Really love this wine, absolutely wonderful!
It needs to be decanted at least an hour before serving - have patience!
Had it decanted for two hours instead. Deep rich garnet color.
Nose of sweet fruits, berries, blackcurrants and a hint of mint & menthol. Surprisingly smooth and well balanced. The tannins are fully integrated. The finish is long.
Truly a French style Bordeaux more than a California Cabernet.
The wine has evolved beautifully and has reached its peak, so drink now!
La Vina de Andres Romeo 2004, Benjamin Romeo, Rioja Spain
“This wine is tightly wound and remains an infant developmentally. Nevertheless, all the ingredients for greatness are present but it will take a decade of cellaring for them to be full expressed. This sensational effort should easily drink well for 40-50 years like a great first growth Bordeaux.” 98 Points, e-robertparker
The wine has a deep, densely concentrated purplish red colour.
Aromas of sweet fruits with toasty notes and nuances of cocoa.
The palate is luxurious, elegant, smooth and balanced, with a lingering finish.
Wondering why lots of sediment happened with this young vintage 2004? Would like to taste one more bottle in due course anyway!
